I was a little surprised to unexpectedly run into Kuro in a place like this, but since we couldnt really talk here, I asked her to step aside for a mont. Kuro seed quite dissatisfied but reluctantly moved away.
Ugh.
Um, long ti no see? Or rather, why are you here, Kuro?
Im going with you.
Huh?
Huh? I cant quite grasp what shes saying.
Im going with Ren. So I ca.
Just as I thought she was saying sothing incomprehensible, Kuro clung to again. She didnt hug over my arms this ti but oh, what should I do?
Well, um What about everyone else? Arent they with you?
I asked whether she ca alone or with others, but there was no response. Instead, Kuro just buried her face in my stomach and kept rubbing. How do I handle this?
I looked over at Lily and Arisa, who were nearby, as if seeking help, but they both seed equally puzzled. Well, I cant bla them.
Wait, Kuro and Ren? Whoa, seriously, you guys are here thats incredible.
As I was feeling a bit lost, Ryuu approached us, perhaps after the mock duel had ended. Thank goodness! Please help out!
Its been a while, Ryuu. But why are you here? And could you please do sothing about this situation?
Oh, yeah. Hey, Kuro, let go of Ren for a mont. Its causing a scene. Okay?
Ugh.
No ughs now, okay? Co on, lets move a bit that way. Ren, and, uh, are your companions over there fine with I an, is it alright with you?
Huh? Oh, yes, its fine.
Sorry, and thank you Kuro, shall we go? Um, Ren too.
Mgh.
No mghs either. Co on, Ren wont disappear or anything.
No, but seriously, Ryuu is amazing.
He easily cald Kuro down and then gently detached her from , leading the conversation in a different direction Right? Its Ryuu were talking about, isnt it?
We moved away from the crowded area, though not too far. Hopefully, we can have a more composed conversation here.
So its nice to see you again?
Yeah, its been a while. You seem well, Ren.
Oh, thank you? Um, so why are you two here?
Well a few things happened, but right now, were working as supporters at Gims place. He took on a special goblin hunting quest, and thats why we ca together.
A supporter, in a nutshell, refers to the jack-of-all-trades in an adventurer party or clan. Their main roles include tasks like carrying supplies, setting up camps, keeping watch during overnight stays in the wilderness, managing the base during expeditions, and providing various forms of logistical support. Its a crucial and honorable role, particularly in larger clans or parties where theyre often hired. So adventurers even specialize in being supporters, and the more capable they are, the more in demand they beco among renowned clans and parties.
However, there are persistent issues in this profession, such as so adventurers with poor behavior or misunderstandings mistreating supporters or exploiting them for cheap labor. So clans or parties also hire young, inexperienced adventurers who cannot undertake quests or hunts yet. They opt for this approach either to cut costs, as hiring dedicated supporter adventurers can be expensive, or because experienced adventurers with a nurturing attitude help ntor newcors. Its also an opportunity for novice adventurers to gain practical experience in a live setting, making it a surprisingly popular job.
Wondering why Im so knowledgeable about this? Well, before I recalled my mories from my past life, I had planned to focus on gathering and support activities as my main role in adventurer activities after leaving the orphanage. So, I did quite a bit of research back then.
Oh, thats good to hear.
Yeah! It was quite enlightening, and Im really grateful I an, thats not it. Um?
Kuro ntioned that shes going with Whats that all about?
Oh you already heard about that? Uh, its a bit of a long story, and discussing it here is not quite well
Indeed, discussing a lengthy story in a place like this isnt practical.
Lily, Arisa, uh
Its alright. It seems like a complex matter, so we can continue the conversation at your ho.
Thank you. In that case, Ryuu, we have a place were staying at, so lets continue the conversation there or is this ti suitable? Should we wait for another ti if its going to take long?
Oh, can you wait for a mont? Gim is over there; Ill go explain it to him.
Ryuu said this and ran off without waiting for a response. I must say, Ryuus growth is impressive. Youth is truly sothing else.
As for Kuro, shes been clinging to and rubbing her head against this whole ti. Hmm, quite a contrast.
After that, I headed ho with Ryuu, who had returned soon enough. On the way, I stopped him from buying dinner from a food stall and persuaded him to have a al at ho. anwhile, Kuro continued clinging to my clothes, making it slightly uncomfortable to walk, to say the least.
Upon returning ho, we took baths, changed, and then resud our conversation in the living room. By the way, both Kuro and Ryuu also took baths, Kuro with and Ryuu by himself.
Lily and Arisa were busy preparing dinner. They seed to have considerately left us alone. However, there werent any substantial barriers separating the kitchen from the living room, so their efforts were sowhat in vain.
Now, where should I start?
Ryuu, you can start from wherever you think is best.
Well for now, lets begin from the ti when Ren disappeared from the capital city. It also relates to the story of working as a supporter for Gim.
